HEATING-STOVE. I

SPECIFICATION forming part 01' Letters Patent No. 354,671, dated December 21, 1886.

Application filed May 7, 1883. Serial No. M5233. (No model.)

- To all whom it 11mg concern:

Be it known that l, EDGAR W. ANTHONY, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State I of Massachusetts,acitizen of the United States, 5 have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in HeatingStoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in explaining its nature, in which Figure 1 is a vertical central section of astove having the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view to further illustrate the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical central section of the stove on alineat aright angleto thatshown in Fig. 1.

The invention relates to a heating-stove having a top plate provided with an opening to the exterior of the stove, or to an oven therein,

and a cover made in sections pivoted in line 23 with the adjoining sides of the same to the top plate, and preferably connected With each other, so that the-movement of one part shall cause the movement of the other, and either with or without an urn or other ornamental 2 5 device resting on one of said sections,

The covers are rounded or shaped to provide or inclose a cavity or space when together, to form 'a portion of the oven-space above the top plate of the stove, and when apart they expose the full opening to the oven space or opening in the top plate.

Referring to the drawings, represents the top plate of the stove, f the portion of the oven-space below the upper surface of the top 5 plate, and F the opening thereto.- G is the cover. It is made in two parts, g g, the first of which is pivoted tothe top plate, at 9 and the second of which is pivoted to the said top plate at 9. Each cover has cast thereon or 0 attached thereto to surround thepivot the segment-gear g and the gears are arranged to mesh with each other, so that the movement of one section of the cover causes the movement in the opposite direction of the other section. Either section of the cover may carry the urn H, and in the drawings I have represented it as supported by the section 9. It may be cast therewith, or it may be made separate and bolted thereto.

It will be seen that the sectionv of the cover supporting the urn extends over or covers more than half of the opening F.

Iain aware that covers supporting urns have been arranged to be swung upwardly and backwardly; but unless the urn is made to swing upon the cover the construction is objectionable, and when the urn is thus'piv- .oted it is expensive.

I am also aware that covers in one part have been made to be moved laterally; but this form of cover does not permit anything to be placed in the oven which is higher than the lower edge of the cover.

I am also aware that flat covers in two parts, hinged and adapted'to be moved toward and 6 from each other, have been used in connection With sad-iron heaters and with magazines, but not, so far as I am aware, with ovens, and I consider that they do not contain the essential elements of my invention, in that they are for a different purpose, and are differently constructed and shaped; and,'so far as I am aware, none of these various devices provides a permanent oven in a heating-stove, one portion or section of which is below the top plate of the heating-stove, and the other portion or section of which is formed by two horizontally-moving plates arranged to make, when together and' over the lower section of the oven, an upper section of the oven above the top plateoi' the stove, whereby access to the lower section of the oven is easily obtained and the entire space of the oven both below and above the top plate rendered useful.

I do not claim herein the combination and 8 5 arrangement of the flues in the base-section of the stove, as the same, while originally claimed in this case, now form the subjectmatter of my application filed November 13, 1883, Serial N 0. 113,253. I

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. The combination, in a heating-stove, of the top plate, 9 having an opening to the in- 9 5 terior of the stove, or to an oven therein, with the cover G, made in sections 9 g, pivoted in line with the adjoining sides of the same to the top plate, and an urn, H, resting on one of said sections, all substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. The combination, in a stove, of the per- 5 manent top plate, having aspace or recess below its upper surface forming a portion of the oven-space, and the two horizontally-movable sectional plates 9 g, rounded or shaped to provide or inclose a cavity or space when too gether, pivoted to the said top plate of the stove, and made movable to and from the said oven-space and each other, whereby when apart they expose the full opening to the ovenspace, and when closed they form a portion of 5 the ovenspace above the top plate of the stove and a cover to the oven, allsubstantially as' and for the purposes described.

3. The combination, with the main body of a stove having an oven-opening, of a top plate surrounding said oven-opening, a two-part cover, and an urn resting on one section, said section covering or extending over more than half of said opening, and being pivoted in line with its inner edge to one side of the top plate, substantially as and for the purposes described.

, EDGAR W. ANTHONY.
